Fire pumps are the key to supplying fresh pressurized water to fire protection systems. They do not produce water per se, but add the energy needed to effectively extinguish a fire. These pumps can be connected to sprinkler systems or other external water sources near the emergency situation. Some may actually be connected to a well, reservoir or water body.

Fire pumps are part of the water supply to a fire sprinkler system and are powered by electricity, diesel or steam. The pump inlet is either connected to a public groundwater supply or to a static water source (e.g. tank, reservoir, lake). This pump provides higher pressure water flow to sprinkler system risers and hose risers. Our company can manufacture fire pumps that meet NFPA20 standards.

The advantage of its product is that when a fire occurs, the power supply fails, and the electric fire pump set cannot be put into use normally, the diesel engine fire pump set can be put into operation automatically to ensure the normal fire fighting. Compared with the electric fire pump set, it does not need long-term investment in power supply, saving the mains power supply transformer and normal expenses. Diesel engine fire pumps are equipped with various automatic functions to meet customer requirements, ensure long-term normal standby status of the equipment, and put it into fire fighting work at any time. The diesel engine fire pump set is also suitable for various emergency backup pump occasions.

Key Factors to Consider:
NPSHa vs. NPSHr: The Net Positive Suction Head Available (NPSHa) must always exceed the Net Positive Suction Head Required (NPSHr) to prevent cavitation.
Elevation & Water Source: Pumps drawing from underground tanks or reservoirs need to account for elevation changes and friction losses.
Pipe Sizing & Layout: Use properly sized pipes and minimize bends to reduce suction losses.
Compliance with NFPA 20: Follow recommended practices for suction piping to ensure smooth operation.
